If you’ve inherited or acquired a collection of Hummels you may be wondering about how to sell your collection in the most profitable way possible. When formulating this equation, it’s essential to factor in more than just dollars.
Some things to consider when selling off your Hummels individually vs. as a collection include:
- Time spent taking photos, writing product descriptions, publishing listings
- Answering customer inquiries and requests for additional photos and info
- Cost of packing and shipping supplies (boxes, bubble wrap, packing wrap, tape)
- Postal runs, entering tracking numbers
- Handling refunds or damaged product returns
Over the years, we have fine-tuned the process of the individual sale. We buy packing supplies in bulk, have a system for listing, organizing, and managing inventory, and have perfected the art of packaging (there was a learning curve!) Hummels are very delicate and can easily become damaged in the shipping process — meaning refunds, returns, and loss of sale revenue. We offer you a way to circumvent the individual sale process with a one-time bulk sale transaction.
Good buyer, prompt payment, valued customer, highly recommended.
We are looking for Hummels in great condition in lots of 40 or more. To start a conversation, send an email with your general location (city and state), the approximate number of items in your collection, and the types of items you have, such as figurines, bells, plates, etc. We’ll ask for some good photos of your lot and that will provide us with all the information we need to make an offer. We’ll walk you through the shipping process to eliminate damage and pay for all shipping costs. Depending on your location, we may be able to come to you for personal pickup.
Great Buyer…Fast Payment….A+++++
Whether we purchase your lot or not, or whether you decide to sell your collection off individually vs. as a lot, we are still available to help you in sharing knowledge of how to get your collection sold. We freely share our knowledge and expert-level experience as experts in the the trade and are here to help you succeed in your sale, whether or not we end up making a purchase.
Have questions? We’re here to help. Happy Hummeling! – Sincerely, Jason
